SUMMARY:THE TONGUE & THE LASH AND A RETURN TO CIVIC DISCOURSE
DESCRIPTION:The Town Hall celebrates James Baldwin and the 60th anniversary of the Baldwin/Buckley Cambridge debate with the New York premiere of the chamber opera\, THE TONGUE & THE LASH by Damien Sneed\, composer/conductor and Karen Chilton\, librettist. Making her Town Hall and New York directorial debut\, the opera will be directed by world-renowned mezzo-soprano\, Denyce Graves-Montgomery. \nA Return to Civic Discourse revisiting the “American Dream”: 60 Years Later will include insights from moderator\, distinguished novelist/poet and MacArthur Fellow\, Edwidge Danticat along with Nicholas Buccola\, PhD award-winning author of The  Fire Is Upon Us: James Baldwin\, William F. Buckley Jr.\, and the Debate Over Race in America; Dr. Brenda M. Greene\, author and literary activist\, founder and executive director of the Center for Black Literature at Medgar Evers College of the City University of New York; Matt Brim\, PhD\, Professor of Queer Studies at the College of Staten Island\, author of James Baldwin and the Queer Imagination (2014); and Dr. Frank Leon Roberts\, Founding Executive Director of The Baldwin/Hansberry Project\, English and Black Studies Professor at Amherst College at The Town Hall\, 123 West 43rdStreet\, New York\, NY on February 18\, 2025 at 8:00 p.m. \n“As the city and the world continues to celebrate James Baldwin’s centennial\, The Town Hall is honored to present a program devoted to one of the most enduring debates in American and World history\,” says Melay Araya\, Artistic Director of The Town Hall. “In keeping with the institution’s history of debate and our century-long commitment to African American classical music\, we are proud to partner with Damien Sneed\, Karen Chilton and opera legend Denyce Graves\, along with our distinguished moderator Edwidge Danticat and four panelists.” \nOn February 18\, 1965 as the Civil Rights movement gripped the U.S.\, another epochal event centered on race relations was being waged at the University of Cambridge between cultural giants\, author/activist James Baldwin and leading conservative\, William F. Buckley\, Jr. Televised live on the BBC Network (and later on American TV)\, the two public intellectuals debated the motion: “Is the American dream at the expense of the American Negro?” \nThe contrast between the two men was stark in terms of their backgrounds\, life experience\, and political ideology. Baldwin\, a Black expatriate writer\, born and raised in Harlem; Buckley\, a Yale man from a wealthy family and a staunch conservative. Though the packed crowd was riveted by both debaters’ perspectives\, Baldwin was the ultimate victor in a 544 to 164 vote. THE TONGUE & THE LASH picks up at the debate’s end\, imagining their intimate exchange after the cameras were off and the crowd had gone. \n“The libretto of THE TONGUE & THE LASH was inspired not only by the sheer brilliance and unrelenting spirit of a literary hero\, James Baldwin\, but also by the ferocity of the debate itself\,” says Karen Chilton. “The intellectual sparring between these two men was nothing short of grand theater; the subject matter—racial disparity vis a vis the ever-elusive ‘American dream’—is indeed fertile ground in which to construct a dramatic work. While I deliberately chose not to disturb the integrity of the actual debate but to create something entirely original\, the conceit then becomes a post-debate conversation infused with all the pugilistic fervor on display that historic night in 1965. Baldwin’s prescient message and Buckley’s resistance to it\, compels us\, even now\, to reckon with where we are\, and how we got here.” \nTHE TONGUE & THE LASH\, commissioned by Opera Theatre of Saint Louis\, had its world premiere in 2021 to critical acclaim. In this production\, the role of “Baldwin” will be performed by baritone\, Joseph Parrish with the role of “Buckley” performed by Andrew Morstein\, and Christian Pursell as the “Adjudicator;” the chorus will be comprised of Olanna Goudeau\, soprano\, Patrice P. Eaton\, mezzo-soprano\, and Justin E. Bell\, tenor\, accompanied by Damien Sneed’s Orchestra of Tomorrow. \n“I was first introduced to James Baldwin in the 8th grade when I read his book\, Go Tell It On The Mountain\, for my book report. I am honored to celebrate his legacy\, life\, and prophetic acumen by composing this opera along with my long-time collaborative partner\, Karen Chilton\, librettist. I am excited to see my friend\, one of the most luminary figures in opera\, the director Denyce Graves-Montgomery\, bring this production to life with the incredible support of Melay Araya\, Artistic Director of Town Hall.” \nThis first-time collaboration with the creative team of Sneed and Chilton\, Denyce Graves-Montgomery shares her enthusiasm\, “Directing the New York premiere of The Tongue & The Lash is an extraordinary opportunity to bring one of the most iconic intellectual exchanges of the twentieth century to the stage. This opera\, inspired by the debate between James Baldwin and William F. Buckley Jr.\, delves into the timeless and urgent questions of race\, privilege\, and morality in America. Baldwin’s searing truths and Buckley’s pointed rhetoric are reimagined through the powerful medium of music\, creating a space for reflection and dialogue that resonates deeply with today’s audience and a return to our Civic Discourse. It’s an honor to guide this creative exploration of a historical moment that continues to shape our collective conscience.”

SUMMARY:Freedom Riders: A Journey with No End in Sight
DESCRIPTION:Freedom Riders: A Journey with No End in Sight is a searing theatrical concert reading that charts a century of America’s struggle for racial justice at a time when it is under siege. As a powerful prelude to its October premiere at Harlem Stage\, the production embarks on a landmark South-to-North tour\, an homage spanning 100 years of freedom movements (1925–2025). From the Great Migration when six million Black Americans fled the Jim Crow South\, to the courageous Freedom Riders who traveled from North to South to challenge segregation\, to the modern-day racial reckoning sparked by the Black Lives Matter Movement\, this timely work will amplify the unrelenting pursuit of justice in America across generations. \n\n\n\n\n\nA Cast of Titans. A Score That Soars. Stories That Must Be Told. Storytellers that Can’t Be Ignored. \nConceptualized and directed by Harlem Stage’s visionary Artistic Director & CEO\, Indira Etwaroo\, Freedom Riders assembles a transcendent cast of celebrated artists from across film\, television\, and Broadway: \n●      Lisa Arrindell* (Disappearing Acts\, Saints & Sinners) \n●      Russell Hornsby* (Fences\, The Hate U Give\, Grimm) \n●      Billy Eugene Jones* (A Soldier’s Play\, Purlie Victorious) \n●      Angelica Ross* (Pose\, American Horror Story) \n●      Stephen Tyrone Williams* (A Master Builder\, The Knick) \nA live musical score is seamlessly woven through these first-person stories of survival\, loss\, resistance\, and love—collaboratively composed and performed by piano virtuoso Arden Altino\, genre-defying violinist Daniel Bernard Roumain\, and Grammy-nominated bassist and former Beyoncé musical director\, Divinity Roxx. The result is a powerful fusion of word and sound\, culminating in a stirring finale that reverberates with hope\, courage\, and the collective will to rise. This original sound score is made possible through Harlem Stage’s signature commissioning initiative WATERWORKS. The theatrical concert reading includes lighting and projection design by Devin Cameron\, costume design by Jorge Rosario and sound design by Gaines Legare with LED Special Effects. Sydney Cusic* is the Production Stage Manager.   \nThis is an Actors’ Equity Association Production. Actors’ Equity Association Members.* \n\n\n\n\n\nDon’t miss the 10-year anniversary of the groundbreaking theatrical concert reading\, and the reimagining of 12 Angry Men and Women.

SUMMARY:JAZZMOBILE SESSIONS - CHARENEE WADE - SAVOY BALLROOM CENTENNIAL - TRIBUTE #1 - TRIBUTE TO ELLA FITZGERALD
DESCRIPTION:Jazzmobile’s mission is to present\, preserve\, promote and propagate America’s classical music\, Jazz. \nFounded in 1964 by National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master\, pianist\, Dr. Billy Taylor and philanthropist and arts administrator\, Ms. Daphne Anstein\, Jazzmobile is the first U.S. not-for-profit arts and cultural organization created just for Jazz. Since the beginning\, we have been bringing high quality Jazz performances and education programs to area residents\, tourists and other visitors\, reaching over 4\,000\,000 people living or visiting New York City. Our national programs brought us to other cities in the US; and the ‘Super Jazz Band’ had us touring cities in Europe and Japan. \nWhether on the street\, in a park or at a major concert hall here or abroad\, Jazzmobile works in partnership with like-minded organizations to present high quality Jazz performances that enrich the culture and imbue new life into the surrounding area. \nOur workshops\, master classes\, lecture demonstrations\, and arts enrichment programs train the next generation of Jazz vocalists and musicians; while also exposing youth to this vibrant art form. For jazz aficionados and other enthusiasts\, our panel discussions increase the knowledge of our many adult followers. Our primary aim is to reach out to communities where Jazz was nurtured and new forms born. \nWe are very proud of being an inspiration to other organizations such as The Manchester Craftsman’s Guild and Jazz at Lincoln Center.
